No sound in Keynote

Today, when I play my slideshows, my embedded video clips and tunes cannot be heard. I have used Keynote for years and never had this problem. These slideshows previously sounded fine. My computer volume is up. Other applications (iTunes) sound fine. I tried updating to the latest version of Keynote -- no help. I tried reinstalling iWork06 -- no help. I tried creating a new slideshow -- no go. What am I missing? I need to do an educational presentation on Monday, and I don't think the audience will be too impressed with silent dolphins. Thanks for any suggestions.

May I ask you what verson of Keynote you're running? I'm having exactly the same problem-the audio from the QT files in my Keynote presentation can't be heard when I export the entire presentation as a QT file. I'm running Keynote 3.01.02. Thanks.

How to import power point sound on keynote ?

how can I import power point diaporamas with the sound on keynote ?

Sorry, Adobe Reader only reads PDF files, not PowerPoint files.
However, if you bought Keynote for about US $9.99 in the App Store, you could open PowerPoint files.

No sound with Keynote imported video

My boss is planning to show a Keynote presentation from her iPad when she takes it overseas, but we've run into a weird problem. I imported the video into Photos as per the approved way, and when I play it in Photos on the iPad, it has audio. However, when I go into the Keynote presentation and add the video, there is no sound. Does anyone know what's going on? Clearly it's not a problem with the clip since it plays the audio in other apps on the iPad.

Just to add to larryfromauckland's post . . .
If you find that moving the side switch does not work, make sure that switch is set to "mute" in your general settings rather than "lock rotation." This is under the General settings tab about 2/3 the way down the page. I tried this fix and it didn't work initially, then realized the setting for the side switch was set to "lock rotation" instead of "mute." Once I swtiched it and made sure the switch was moved so that red dot was not showing, my audio worked just fine.
Hope that helps.

No sound in Keynote on iPad Air

Hi all,
When trying to add sound (a track from my music in iTunes account) to a Keynote presentation on my iPad Air, it allows me to link a track, but then when the presentation is played, the track does not play. I have tried to play the soundtrack separately through iTunes then opened the Keynote and as soon as the presentation started, the music stops, as though it recognises that there is a track there and has stopped the other one to allow it to play. But no sound. Is there a hidden volume setting? I can't find anything and there are minimal options within Keynote to mess with.
Any ideas? I've searched the net and a few people have have the same issue.

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.

No sound in Keynote videos

Hi. I am getting a strange problem since installing Leopard. Sound completely disappearing from videos in Keynote. Then return if I open sound preferences/ and once when ~I plugged in an ethernet cable for back up. What is happening? Do I need to wipe hard disc and do clean install? Please advise.. I use Keynote for my living as a trainer and love it?!
Many thanks

My keynote file include over 150 pages and most of the pages play with video file.
The file size is about 4GB.
Anyway I solve the problem by re-converting the video files.
Following is my solution :
1. Download the iFun box application and install in the Mac which I want to sync with my iPad
2. Open the app when iPad sync with the computer
3. Find the keynote file in keynote app.
4. And also I can find the resource files ( pictures and videos separately ) which I use in the keynote file.
5. Copy the video files to Mac
6. Use file convert application (such as Qtime) and re-save the .mov files as .mov files again.
7. Copy the re-convert files to the original directory to keynote app via iFun box.
8. Then play the keynote file in iPad mini now with sound ok.

Music of imported pps files doesn't sound on Keynote

I got Keynote on my Ipad, and when I import pps files, its music doesn't sound. It's very strange because the same file, I open it in powerpoint in my mac and it works fine, the musics perfect. So what's the problem? Can i do something on my mac to get this pps file to work with music on my iPad keynote?
thank you

How could I NOT import them? Appointments I do "by hand" show up immediately on the other devices. The imported appointments show up after modification.

No Sound in Keynote Presentation (QT video)

Hi All,
I am working on a Keynote presentation and am trying to import a Video file (QT) into the final slide. (Video created via iTunes using music that was bought from the iTunes store) The video works fine however there is no audio.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Assume you mean the movie made in iMovie?
Could be a DRM thing. Try converting the AAC file to MP3 and use that one in the movie.

Keynote opens pps attachments with no sound

When I get a Power Point attachment, it opens in Keynote, and has no sound. I get the working version, not the finished product. How do I change it to open in Power Point, or at least get sound on Keynote?

I can't answer the part about no sound, because I just made a PP (.pptx) with sound, and when I opened it with KN, the sound worked fine. So my guess is that the attachment you've been sent has been sent without the sound file. To be able to play a PP doc which includes media (audio, video) on any computer other than the one on which it was created, whether Mac or Windows, whether opened with PP or KN, it must be saved as a package (which is a folder containing the PP doc plus the media file), and the whole package must be moved (whether by email or memory stick) to the new computer. The same thing is true with KN docs, BTW.
Moving on: If, on a Mac, you're clicking on a PP doc but it opens in KN, that's probably because you don't have PP installed. Is that the case? If you don't have PP, but want to view a PP doc in PP, or, in any case, not in KN: there used to be a Microsoft app "PowerPoint Viewer for Mac", but that doesn't work with OS X, and there's no update. If you don't want to buy PP, I believe NeoOffice, which is free, will open PP docs, and even allow you to work on them. Obviously, buying PP (MS Office) is the surest, but most expensive solution.
Now then: If you do have PP on your Mac, but your PP docs nevertheless open in KN, it sounds as if the default app for opening PP's has been reset wrong. Correct this by: "Get info" on that file; halfway down the window which opens is an "Open with:" drop-down, where you can set the default app back to PP, and click below that to apply this change to all files like this.
Just out of curiosity: what do you mean by "working version, not the finished product"? Is the difference only the missing sound, or is there more to it than that?
Good luck.

Is it possible to play sound in an iPad Keynote presentation.

I'm new to the iPad and to Keynote. I can't find an option for importing audio into my presentation. Does this version of Keynote allow the inclusion of audio, such as a song downloaded from iTunes?

Hi,
As far as I can tell no. However, if you import say a powerpoint with sound to keynote then the presintation will have sound. I really hope Apple fixes that!
Have a Great day!!

Export Keynote Presentations to Make a DVD with Sound

I am very pleased with the ease of use and beauty of Keynote compared to PPT and its clunky interface, and I really like Keynote's elegant transitions and builds.
I have a number of Keynote presentations from 20 minutes to about an hour that I want to place on DVDs to share with others.
I own Final Cut Pro 4.5, DVD Studio Pro 3.0, Motion 1.0, iLife '04, Keynote 1.0, Keynote 2.0.2, Garage Band 1.0, and Sound Studio 2.1. I've been a Mac user since 1985 and have kept up with many apps and am a professional photographer, but am just getting into video production and need advice.
1. Is it possible to import a Keynote (v.2) or (v.3) into FCP as it is advertized for iDVD? Or can Keynote files be imported into DVD Studio Pro 3.0 also? Pros vs Cons?
2. Is it possible to lay down a complete sound track in FCP and then import a Keynote presentation and sync it to the transitions and builds?
3. Or is it necessary to cut up the sound into the correct time length for each slide (and builds) and paste into each slide in Keynote?
4. Is there a way to easily modify the time length of a slide (transition and/or build(s)) within FCP after the Keynote presentation has been imported?
5. If this is saved in QuickTime can that be imported into FPC?
6. Or is it better to lay down individual sound bytes in FCP after the Keynote presentation is imported?
7. Are there any tricks that I should know about in timing the sound bytes for each slide transition with its builds?
8. Do I need QuickTime Pro?
9. If I upgrade to Keynote 3, will that make things work easier, such as exporting directly to iDVD or DVD Studio Pro 3.0?
10. If I upgrade to iLife '06 with its iDVD, will that facilitate in any way?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I love Keynote, took me a bit to figure out how to keep it looking so good exporting it so i could use it in FCP and Motion and then to DSP. The trick is when you export from Keynote use the QT and then go to formats then custom, under video change it from 800x600 i alwas use 800x600 to build Keynote presentations looks better when you export, change this to 720x540 this will keep your presentation looking just as nice. Under settings i use Animation and millions of colors, good luck i use this method and works every time. From there you can take it right into DSP or FCP and even Motion, i usually don't export sound from Keynote but you could i add mine later in FCP. Hope this works for you.

Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work

When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion. I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration. When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward.   However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible. I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013.   Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out.   It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies.   Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs.

The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

VLC and Keynote sync

Downloaded VLC player, and put some utubes downloaded on my Mac then connected to big TV, can't play, no video but there is sound.
Keynote presentation created from my Mac with sound track and transferred over to iPad, everything is off and no sound, why?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds as though you have a conflict of versions, I had a similar occurence, it took some sorting out.
Try this:
Remove the most up to date versions of your documents either by downloading from iCloud.com or by saving to iTunes on the iOS device. Turn off document and data syncing on all devices, turn it back on and change the name of your documents before re-adding them.

QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

Hi!
I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
This is my feedback.
Thanks!!!!! :)
